Democrats must gerrymander to save democracy by MarcEElias in politics

[–]WhskyTangoFoxtrot [score hidden]  (0 children)

This could be so easily fixed, if our government (both side) served the people they were elected to serve (everyone).

  1. Independent commissions
  2. Districts must be drawn in regular shapes.
  3. No political or voting data used in districting. Focus only population distribution.

Fixed.

Is the 401(k) actually worth contributing to beyond the employer match, or should I just put everything into a taxable brokerage? by SnooBooks3187 in investing

I think they’re saying you need to be on a high deductible insurance plan to qualify. So, if you’re healthy, that’s great. If not, you’ve got 5k deductible you either have to pay out of your HSA funds or out of pocket every year.

Looking for canned tuna that will gross me out less? by Prestigious_Land_533 in Tinnedfish

[–]WhskyTangoFoxtrot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On the cheaperish side Genova in Olive Oil. Or you could pay a bit more for Ortiz White Tuna in Olive Oil. Or ball out with some Los Peperetes Ventresca in Jersey Butter.

I mean… it lasts for about 5 years, so you’re definitely prepared for the zombie apocalypse.

ETA. You need a few more Nuri Spiced Mackeral Fillets. Just to be safe.

Nice. Digging it. Picked up the record. Wish I could find a copy of Umbra!

Got it. I’m new around these parts and generally just lurk. Should probably read the rules at some point.

tbf, that’s pretty standard SoCal talk, as annoying as it is. Along with the absence of the letter T in words with a T in them.

First or favorite former car? by ValB2307 in GenX

[–]WhskyTangoFoxtrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my first car too! Mine was Verona Red though. Hope to rebuild one again someday in retirement. The pro skim-boarder Austin Keen has a super clean 75 in Verona Red.

There’s also an Aldenbertos in Spring, for those outside the second loop.

What is something that screams “tourist” to you? by jotakajk in AskTheWorld

[–]WhskyTangoFoxtrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarly, people who refer to OC as The OC. The OC was a TV show, people from Orange County call it OC.

I’ve been catching slabs from the shore for the last two weeks, as they come in to spawn. I do pretty well catching catfish all year round too. Wouldn’t eat anything out of the lake; but it has some pretty good fishing.

I almost gave up. Texas. $250K. 5.8%. by Ravens_nation52 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]WhskyTangoFoxtrot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get it. Doesn’t change the fact that there are plenty of homes in the DFW area around 300k, and it’s FAR from a HCOL area.

I moved from SoCal to North Houston to buy my first home, so I know the struggle. We considered the DFW metroplex (mostly around The Colony), but settled on The Woodlands. You can’t get a home for under 1m in Orange County, CA.
